She's been away from home *way* too long!!

If I'm feeling lazy, I buy some and we have them with a late night cup
of tea, or if friends are comig over and I feel inclined, I make them
(although mine are never as 'neat' as the bought ones!!).

And I've been to quite a few friends places for visits and they bring
out the lamingtons.

Chocolate crackles and fairy bread are for kids birthday parties :-)

Last couple of batches I've been trying different types of chocolate.
I'm trying to get one with a Swiss chocolate and roasted coconut
coating.

At the moment, they come out with a hard coating. still nice..... but
not the same.
